If the blue picture is bright and you can see horizontal lines in the picture that are equally spaced and slightly ramped up on the right side, then you have either a bad blue picture tube or the driver board is bad. The TV sees this problem and shuts down and the blinking light s are saying that there is too much current flowing (because the tube is on full blast). This will require a technician to check and see which is bad. The cost to fix this will likely be $300 (parts on driver board)- $500 (new blue picture tube).
